The ’50 Best Restaurants’ via Google Maps

The idea for this post was born out of a tweet that blogger Chris Pople (of Cheese n Biscuits blog fame) tweeted last week. It was shortly after the release of the 50 Best restaurant list & although I’m not entirely sure what prompted it, seemed like a good idea.

Using Google maps he posted a picture and location of El Cellar de Can Roca in Gerona, Spain. So using the same technique as a base, I thought to see if I could work my way through the ’50 Best Restaurant list’.

There is, as many of you will know the obvious omission of El Bulli (many feel because the Restaurant magazine editor couldn’t get a table) from the Top 50 list, and unfortunately this list will be missing the stellar restaurant as well, but for different reasons. There are a few establishments where the Google cameras haven’t been & El Bulli is one of them sadly. Fortunately on top of the annual award list, I have added other significant restaurants worthy of a mention
